Light and airy men's shirt

Description

A project for my hubby. McCall’s 7123, an elderly (but not quite vintage) easy pattern. Front and back panels are gathered to the yoke. This is about his favourite kind of shirt. Not bad for a thrift-store pattern :)

He initially challenged me to finish the shirt in one day. I failed this challenge. He says (after watching me make it) he will never complain about paying $50 for a shirt again. :)

very nice job! i love the shirt and the material you have chosen. and it is increadible, that your husband has noticed the effort, time and love you had to put into your project.! (tell your man, that to model is the smallest part on this “job” and he did this really well!)

Hee… he loves the shirt, but I don’t know if I’d recommend it… it took me ages (and much badgering) to get him to let me take these pics, and isn’t the real point of sewing to have stuff to put up on Burdastyle? ;)
